The list of attendees reads like a roll call of the continent’s most influential figures. The AU 2024 theme is “Educate and Skill Africa for the 21st Century”.

At the AU Summit and ABF, Google and the UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) spotlight AI’s potential to propel Africa’s progress in education and innovation.
